I'm starting candy corn. Oh, God. What? You are one of those. Now, listen, people aren't really handing out candy corn for Halloween, but it is my favorite Halloween candy and the pumpkins. Yeah, it's fire. Man, I don't even know if I could do this podcast anymore. Dude, not only am I cutting your candy corn, I might just just

cut this out of the episode in general. Welcome to the show everybody. And however you're taking in the show today, we appreciate it. Subscribe to us on YouTube if you haven't already. Follow on Apple and Spotify. Leave reviews. All that good stuff. We appreciate it. Hit us up on all social media platforms at Throwback Show. As me and Matt always say, we will respond to... I definitely will respond to you. I was going to say, talk a little smack to Jerry because he's just salty just this week. He's just been salty. Am I officially a mark on social media? Like you could get me to respond with negativity and trolling my sports teams

and you'll get me for sure. Like you're so easy on there. You're so easy. Like it not ever since I obviously we got to know each other. It's just like, Oh, Jerry just loves to be right in the middle of just like fire. You just like to be like, like the cross winds of like people talking shit, fans, stirring. You like to stir the pot. You like to stir the pot is what I'm learning about you. I like to stir the pot. Um, I think it's the new version of get off my lawn,

right? I don't think anymore. It'll be great out, like hosing off the cement and then some kids run by and I'm like, you know, I think it's me yelling at people in caps. By the way, this is what happens when you, you know, you get into your mid 40s and you're just, you're, yeah, you give up, you give up playing pickup basketball.

You're just, you're a little salty and then you just want to sit there. You're like the keyboard warrior that you and I probably always talk shit to other people about. Listen, hey, I'm a keyboard warrior. I don't want to fight anybody. By the way, I'm a little salty today, too. I've been under the weather this week.

I'm just seeing how sexy I am. You've been traveling a lot, man. How many miles have you logged with Big Noon? I don't know, but my Delta. 40,000 this year? My Delta Sky miles are just through the roof right now. We should mention, we talked about dressing up. It is Halloween today. Happy Halloween, everyone. Happy Halloween, yeah. We should mention, we talked about dressing up. It is Halloween today.

Happy Halloween, everyone. Happy Halloween, yeah. We talked about wearing costumes on the show and then we realized, no. We're not gonna. Well, we realized no because I was like, I mean, we had this golf car parade this past a couple days ago and I dressed up as Donkey Kong.

We were Mario Kart. And that's what the boys are going as for Halloween. And yeah, I was about to go full Donkey Kong costume on this, but I'm actually glad you said no. No, no, no, but we do have, joining us later, we have, our lovely wives are gonna stop by. We haven't really done this yet on throwbacks. Josie's joined us before, but she joined us as Josie Lyner, the attorney.

Yeah. Now you're going to get the, you're going to see the other side of her. Right. And you know, my wife, Brie and I, we actually used to do a podcast together back starting in 2012 called Bad for Business, where the whole theory behind it was, is it bad for business for a couple to work together and do a podcast every day? Turns out it wasn't. I was gonna say, it can't be great, but if you guys figured it out. I fired her a bunch of times.

I fired her a bunch of times. I'm excited. I feel like that conversation will just go anyway. There's a lot of holidays coming up. There's a lot of just stuff around the house, a lot of sports that conflict with holidays's a lot of just stuff around the house, a lot of sports and that conflict with holidays. So I just be, you know, I just think as dads, it's like, you know, there's some things that we're going to have to do, but there's going to be some things that are just like non-negotiables. I would love to hear Breeze non-negotiables.

Well, I think a lot of this when they come on later is going to be I already have a negotiation that I need to. So I'm using this forum and all our throwback listeners and viewers. This is for all the dads out there who are listening to us and are married. Hey, keep it calm. We're with you guys. We are with you. Question for you real quick. And since we're talking about Halloween, do you know about getting booed?

Not in the stadium. We just got, we just got, yeah, we got booed? Not in the stadium, in the arena. Yeah, we got booed. Wait, what? Not in the stadium. Oh, like, I've been booed plenty of times in my life. Yeah, we got booed the other night. So maybe this is the Brooklyn in me, and now I live in the suburbs.

But a couple of nights ago, at like 930 at night, the doorbell rings. And immediately I'm like, I need a weapon. Who rings the doorbell like 930 at night, the doorbell rings and immediately I'm like, I need a weapon. Who rings the doorbell at 930 at night? And I open the door and I see the remnants about 100 yards away of some little kid with a hoodie running away.

I'm like, oh great, now we got, what is this? And I look on the ground and there's just a little pumpkin basket with a bunch of candy. What a nice thing. I mean, do that in Brooklyn. If you roll up to someone's doorstep in the 90s in Brooklyn, ringing the bell. Yeah, you're getting shanked, maybe.

You're getting the hand. It's so funny, man. Like, I think it's great, because the kids love it. And we actually, we got booed this week. I think, yeah, I think Josie took the kids to boo a couple kids the other day. I wasn't here. But it's kind of like Elf on the Shelf for Christmas.

It's like there's so many things that are added on to what is already a stressful time of like, dude, you got to wear the costume 18 freaking times because there's so many parties and schools. And did you guys do, you guys did like a hayride or something? I saw on your Instagram, you did something or Bri took the boys somewhere, but there's this like, there's so many things now that lead up to it. So you have to buy like seven costumes and now you got to go booing.

And then for Christmas, it's got an elf on the shelf and Josie writes a letter every single morning to the kids. And it's like, you got to remember then you don't remember. It's like, shit man. Like what happened to just waking up Christmas morning and being super pumped for the morning? Now there's like, this is what I'm going to ask the wives. Like, let's just save it because they're coming.

Don't, don't unload just yet. Cause I'm going to, that just got me fired up. This is a big test for you and I. We have to support each other through this journey. Yeah. Of our wives joining us. I have a feeling I'm just gonna, like, I already know and I love my wife, but she is Cuban

and I think she's just gonna rip me. I'm gonna be honest, there's gonna be 30 minutes of me just sitting here going, uh-huh. You're in the dunk tank. You're in the dunk tank. This is my life, oh, I love you. Also later, it's my turn this week for the throwback three. I thought yours last week with conspiracy theories,

sports conspiracies was awesome. Great reaction. A lot of people very upset we didn't talk about the Michael Jordan gambling stuff. True, we left that one off or whatever. But being that it's Halloween, I figure let's just keep it simple. Let's go Throwback Three, scary slash horror movies

at the end of the show. Dude, my number one still gives me nightmares today. Okay. And it's not, I'll save it, but it's not, it's not like your typical Halloween movie, it's just a horror, it's just a scary movie that I think is one of the best scary movies of all time. Well, speaking of nightmares, earlier in the week, Monday,

I lived through a nightmare, which some of you were calling the sports equinox. You guys need to retire this word. I don't ever want to hear it again. There's people who sent me screenshots that they faded every New York team on Monday's sports equinox betting-wise and hit. I went a little road trip.

I went with some friends to Steelers Giants while game three was going on with the Yankees. And I gotta say, shout outs to Pittsburgh. I've never been. To a great town. Great town, great setup. I know a lot of people do this on YouTube. They will rate tailgates and they'll rate

just the overall experience. For me, I give it a nine out of ten and the only reason why it's not a ten out of ten is no phone service or Wi-Fi. So to the dude sitting to my right I was three dudes I think from Brooklyn who were trying to watch the Yankee and they brought iPads to the stadium which I thought was a ultimate flex. We were in there and you are forced to just watch the pillow fight that was Steelers Giants for three and a half. By the way, when you guys went and I'm sure you're sitting there and you're like, alright let's watch this game. When you find out

that you cannot put on the Yankees game, how pissed were you guys? It was pretty, it was uh, cuz I was just, I was so impressed that these dudes brought the iPad. I wouldn't have the courage to do that. So I was very excited to, by the way, we were shout outs to John Franklin who got the tickets. Second row, 40 yard line on the giant side. So I didn't pay for the tickets. I was a guest. I was a plus one.

But the real thing I wanted to tell you, two things. I really feel like I swung on the jersey argument because Pittsburgh, obviously, they're wearing some throwbacks. There was like a Randall L Jersey, old school Plaxico Jersey. I saw the Randall L Jersey was my favorite. A lot of Heinz wore jerseys. Just this whole jersey thing. Like I'm not going to backtrack, but don't backtrack. But I don't really have a problem with guys wearing a jersey at a game in that atmosphere. It was incredible. Yeah. I don't really have a problem with guys wearing a jersey at a game in that atmosphere.

It was incredible. Yeah, I don't like pit. Well, I say Pittsburgh, you can. So there's so many reasons why an organization has success. But you can see right when you're there, you have the town, the people, you have the ownership. Like it is it is a football town. Like blue collar, hard working. You know, Coach Wanstead, Dave Wanstead,

one of my great buddies is from Pittsburgh. He never, I don't think he coached, he coached Cowboys, Miami, all those school, Cowboys, Bears, but he is like Pittsburgh through and through. And in this profession that I'm in, I've met some Pittsburgh people. And it's like my favorite people in the world because they are just like it's Pittsburgh Yeah, like they're just they're just tough nose and that state that's awesome. I played there preseason

07 or 06 and 07. It was awesome man. Like it's a great town. Also low-key the Pirate Stadium I didn't go in it obviously because they're not playing but just where it's located. It's right on the water right there. Yeah it's it's beautiful but the thing I really wanted to tell you about because two weeks ago you opened up or maybe last week you opened up on the show. We know you eat your boogers. That's cool. You talked about pissing your pants. First of all I don't eat my boogers. You used to eat your boogers were a young man. When I was like four. Right. So, but then you told me that you revealed about when players have to piss, that they just get wrapped with a bunch of jackets. You found yourself just,

you just found yourself watching the whole time. And maybe I haven't been to enough football games or had good enough. Did you see it? Did I see it? I, again, 40 yard line facing the Giants. I am about 30 yards away from from they basically have like the crates that hold helmets and different things. They walk them in there. They cover them with jackets.

The players walk out with a piss bag. Oh, they peeing a bag now in a bag. Oh, I was just going on the field turf. I was like, do I feel I almost wanted to film it and send it to you just to be like, I can't believe I never knew this and now so there was so there are no blue tent no blue tent they're just going I saw five players yeah what did you expect in front of me no I get it I just I never noticed it and then at one point I won't name the player but a player came out with a piss bag and a fan said something and he like fake he pump faked and he's gonna throw throw the bag of piss. Isn't it? I'm telling you, right? It's so I gave you the perspective from a player because we're sitting there kneel down like, like it's almost like, it's like, it's like, where's Waldo? Like you have no, cause you're not looking for it. But now and we're, and I'm sitting there, I've, I'm

literally looking, I would have been looking at you, but like, oh, there's Jerry Ferraro right there. Second row. He has no idea. I'm taking a piss right now on the field. But now that you're, you're going to, like, you're not going to, you can't unsee that dude. I'm telling you, right now on the field. But now that you're gonna, like, you're not gonna, you can't unsee that, dude. I'm telling you.

People are like crazy. I'm like, what do you expect us to do on the sideline? Now, if you gotta drop a deuce, like, that's another thing. I don't know, I don't know of anyone who had to drop a deuce during a game, but that's a whole other- Five players pissed 30 feet in front of me. And then, I can't film this this because that just is the creep.

That'd be the creep. I'd be the biggest creep of all time. I was more so just like, I can't believe it. You know we call that, we call that Peter Gazing. We used to call that Peter Gazing. Anytime, this is why I love this pod, dude. Because anytime, this has nothing to do with anything other than anytime we were in a locker room

and anybody that was not on our football team that walked in, we just start yelling, P-P-Peter Gaser! We're staying here, okay? This show's off the rails already. And we are going to do something too that we came up with for Halloween. We're going to do a fun start, bench, or cut

coming up in a second. You just reminded me of a story I think I have to tell. Is this on the set of Entourage? No, even better. So a buddy of mine who helped me move one time just sent me an envelope of like some random stuff that he somehow had in mind. And one of them was my ticket to the Golden Globes in like 2009, right?

Entourage got nominated six years in a row for best comedy. We lost six years straight. So we're the Buffalo Bills of Outstanding Comedy Award. But the Golden Globes is, of course it's an amazing party, but look, the Emmys is an amazing party. The Emmys, you're in a theater, you're locked in. It's also a dry party. No one's really drink,'. You can't drink.

Is it? Yeah, and if you like go out for a commercial break, you're locked out of the theater till the commercial breaks back. It's very organized and technical. The Golden Globes, you're at a table. It's like a ballroom. You're at like a wedding essentially.

And you're drinking and you can go in and out. There's people going outside to smoke. And it's great. It's a lot of fun I still can't believe i've actually been to this one year Okay, we go and we always had to work the next day with a 6 a.m. Call time so no one ever got to you know banged out but Commercial break our awards coming up. So we know all right. We got to go I got a lot of guys had to go pee. We're gonna go use the bathroom and come back

We have to be at the table for the awards We go in there now you're in this this bathroom, dude. It's, it's like me, Kevin Dillon, James Cameron, Johnny Depp, crazy bunch of dudes taking the piss. I shit, you know, this is why Kevin Dillon is the best. Kevin Connolly walks in while we're all at our own stalls, peeing. Connolly walks in, it's dead quiet in front of all these stars. And Kevin Dillon goes, you might want to cover up boys,

we got a peeker walking in. And Connelly walks in. He was devastated. It was Connelly. It was Connelly. He was making fun of Connelly. All right. So a couple of things that just stood out from the NFL in week eight

that is still going on that we have to talk about, because every week I watch football and I just think of 15 things I want to ask you. Bradley Boseman comes to the defense of Justin Herbert. Fucking love that shit. And what I saw, we talked last week about every play, there's 2,000 cameras in the football game.

So if you're Nathan Shepard from New Orleans, you know that that tape, that footage is gonna be anywhere, everywhere. It looked like he was trying to rip off Justin Herbert's leg, so I don't know why he made that choice. Did you see it in the moment, and what did you think about that, and you have to come to the defense, right?

Yeah, no, I saw obviously the highlight of it and for the defensive player again nasty dirty you know he's got a bum ankle all those all those things that that was blatant like that there's there's some there's some there's cheap shots there's some that are blatant there's some that are like hey like you know some of these rules with the with the defensive players now, like I get it. I think we can all use our own judgment and say like, all right, that wasn't a dirty play. That was a dirty play.

And when you see your lineman, like especially as a quarterback, and when you see your lineman, just do that and just not give a shit, like you're going to get fined, you're going to get penalized to all that. I mean, that's there's a, there's's a like you protect your quarterback, you protect your quarterback, you protect him for a lot of reasons. But obviously, Justin Herbert has the respect of his guys. You love to see that that's that's, that's, that's the lineman's job and they take a lot of pride in making sure that their

quarterback is upright that their quarterback doesn't get hit throughout a game. And then when they take it to the nether level That's what you get. I loved it. I love that stuff man. Like I obviously the play was dirty I hate that but I love when guys Stand up for other guys, especially as a quarterback when we saw our big boys who by the way get no recognition Get no love get no glory Herbert's making 50 mill a year and and get no love, get no glory. Herbert's making 50 mill a year,

and this dude's trying to break his ankle, and this guy just runs and just like, body slams him on the ground. And by the way, would have went to blows with that dude if he didn't get him off. I love it, man. Terrible play, but I love the fact that, I mean, that's what you do, you know?

And that's something that feels like it could bring a team together. I'm also, after- Well, it also just shows to like, you know, like Harbaugh, like Harbaugh's Harbaugh's a football guy. It's a mentality. He's a little, little weird. Like, yeah, he's the mentality. So good teams and we talk about this in college a lot, but it does translate in the NFL. Like good teams take on the personality of their head coach.

He's a football guy. He's tough as nails. This Chargers team is tough as nails, man. And they weren't like that the last couple of years, but you can see that and you can say, well, it's just one play, but that's the personality of this team. And I love that man. Like good on him. So after living through the terrible sports equinox earlier in the week where every single New York team got smacked I after we were praising the New York of like having the greatest time to be a New York fan Sorry, keep going. Yeah, and your reverse jinx with Swisher and I just letting us just do Yankee porn for 30 minutes You it really worked. Well, but anyway, I'm also torturing myself I'm watching the comeback on Netflix

about the Boston Red Sox comeback in 2004. Why would I watch this, you ask? Well, I feel like being that I watched the Captain Jeter documentary 400 times, I just feel like you gotta balance things out. And I bring this up in regards to Bozeman because in 04 with this comeback, spoiler, this played out in front of us, so I'm not ruining it for you,

but the Red Sox halfway through the year were having a rough go of it. And do you remember the A-Rod fight with Veritek at home plate? Oh, yeah. That's where they turned everything around. And isn't it crazy? Like there's- And they were just beaming it. Listening to Clemens and Pedro just talk about who you want me to get tonight.

Who you want me to take out tonight. That's a different game that no longer is played. But the fight, it seemed like, was the thing that galvanized the chemistry of that Red Sox team. They were not getting along. If you remember, they tried to trade Nomar, you know, for a rod and that didn't work out. So Nomar was pissed and man, he was in the trade. So they were like hating each other.

That fight, that Veritek fight where we kind of got the best a rod there brought them together There's it's so this is why I love sports and people like people always ask like is momentum real is there is there like? I fully it comes in a lot of different ways and That just reminded me of like what Kike Hernandez said a couple weeks ago, like when he dropped the F-bomb on live TV and they said like, what's the difference of last year's team

and this year's team? And he's like, we just don't give a fuck. And like that's not a moment, but that is like a team that you know, like you can tell with the Dodgers, like the chemistry, they play together, they just, they really don't give a shit about anything else. And to your point, like a Red Sox, when you have a moment like that, like that really happens. And maybe this incident galvanizes the team,

maybe it doesn't, but like it does, it does, it does bring you closer together in a way that it's hard for me to explain. You just have to be in the moment and be in that locker room, you know what I mean? And, but yeah, I mean, you're right with the Red Sox thing. Sometimes those things happen, man. And it's the best thing, honestly, sometimes, and this is true, like I'd love to get a coach on here. Like coaches would want a fight to break out. Start a fight today.

In training camp, hey, especially in training camp, when it gets a little monotonous and you're going against each other, like we have coaches be like, hey, and it'd be staged, but two guys alignment, D-line, hey, let's get a little fight going. Let's see. We need a little juice. Some after the whistle stuff.

We just need a little energy for this team. And it just, for whatever reason, man, it gets you going. And I wish actors could do that. Hey, go up and fucking slap Adrian in the back of the head. Get him fired up. I wish we could do that. That'd be so fun. We'd all be arrested and Hollywood would be shut down. I think, by the way, I think I think your boy was at a he's at Texas. He was at Texas Georgia game. Listen, honestly, I was like, I saw it come on my on my feed and I'm like, I think I almost

screenshot me like I didn't think he was a sports fan. I was like, no, why is he at this game? Well, he lives in Texas now. All right. Well, there he does live in Texas and he's he's gone to some sporting events over the years. My my favorite Grigné sports memory was when we we presented an award at the ESPYs as a group one year early on the ESPYS We're doing the red carpet and someone's asking us like our favorite Yankees of all time and he's already hitting me like

Hideki Matsui Somewhere Hideki Matsumi, I think he said Yeah, he's a big sports guy. No, but he's a good hang. And also the comeback on Netflix is honorable mention from my horror movie later in the Throwback 3, because I don't know why I'm doing that to ourself. Also something else, Matt, I wanted to ask you when I was watching football, you know, I saw,

you know, Richardson pulled himself out of the game. And now a few days ago, Colts basically came out and benched him. And I'm just confused like where this, this goes now and the stuff that's happening with some of these really, really high quarterback draft picks. Well, yeah, I I've never seen anything like that in the history of football, especially at that position. And you know, this, this, this kid, obviously, uh, a great kid, you know, every, I know everyone likes him over there in the locker room and he's young and he does have a lot of talent. But I think first, if

you just look at the play, he hasn't been great. He's been heard a lot in his young career. And, and then just in that moment to it's, it's such a, it's, it's one play, right? Hey, I'm tapping out, I'm too tired to go. But what that moment to it's such a, it's one play, right? Hey, I'm tapping out, I'm too tired to go. But what that play, it's so much bigger than that because you're a franchise quarterback, you're a top five pick, you're making millions of dollars, you're supposed to, you're the fearless leader

of a franchise that is trying to, you know, obviously Colts have a great franchise, but trying to get in the playoffs and trying to win a Super Bowl. And that's what you were drafted to potentially do. And you tap out because you're tired. And we've seen quarterback after quarterback over the years play hurt, play with pain, play with injury. You look at Matt Stafford, you look at, I mean, even Kirk Cousins, you know, the quarterback was a great show on Netflix because it kind of brought you in like, you just kind of see what these guys go through.

But you play for your team, you tough it out, you do everything you can to stay on the field. That's like the number one rule in football. So you figured it had a lot of backlash, obviously, with a lot of guys in the media saying, how could you do that to your team? And then now clearly being benched and going in a different direction is not, it's not surprising to me, Jerry. Like it's just not.

Like it's just, it's just, you can't do that. It's like one of those things, it's like a no-no in sports. Like, bro, you're a grown man, get in shape, work out. Like, Lamar shape, work out. And don't say it to the media. Lamar Jackson runs every down, Kyler Murray runs a lot. I don't know, it's just a bad, it's a perception thing.

It's bad and now they're going in a different direction. And this is an impossible question to answer because no one could know because I don't even think the cults know. But we saw it with Bryce, we saw it years ago with Trey Lance. Like, I'm not saying could this be it, because everyone rushes to judgment,

but is this something where, all right, we'll just reset and let them get another off season, let them watch Flack. Essentially, are we getting the sitting your quarterback for a year or two in a new way? Is this the new way to do it, where like you can test the water, see what they got, and if you don't like what you're

seeing, you pull them, hopefully you have a veteran flacco like quarterback to sort of lead. Because that's what's happening. You're doing it almost a little backward. I always say this and like, I've been in these locker rooms, I've been on a team as players and coaches, you know what you see from guys every day in practice, right? So these coaches know that whether it's a Bryce Young or whether it's an Anthony Richardson, they know what they have in that guy every single day.

Now they're not going to go out and say that publicly, whether they think he's going to be great or not. They know. So that's why you see sometimes these types of decisions. They know what they have in Anthony Richardson for two years now. Now, I think they know the upside, but they also put, and I'm just speaking like devil's advocate, they might see like, hey, I'm not sure he's going to get to a point where we need, we need him to be. We just don't know. Or they can be like, Hey, we got Joe Flacco. He's won games. He's been great

the last couple of years in these types of situations. Maybe AR just needs a little time to like, Hey, let's get you out of the spotlight. Let's work. Let's grow. Let's learn from Joe. And let's let's kind of regroup. And then maybe there's a quarterback battle next year. You know what I mean? So like, but these these teams understand what they have within those walls. And usually when decisions are made like this, it's not great for a young quarterback because, I mean, obviously, especially coming off a fact that, you know, he's, I don't even know what he's completing,

less than 50% of his throws, he's been hurt a ton, you know what I mean? So, and it's not like they got good players over there. You know, they got a great running back, they got some good receivers. Tell you what, and I hope it all works out for Richardson. He really does seem like a good guy. And there's definitely not a shortage of talent,

that's for sure. There's a lot of raw athleticism that not a lot of players have. I'll tell you what, too. It makes me absolutely terrified. For every giant fan, Browns fan, whoever whoever was like, oh, you're still holding on to Danny Dimes. Because it's terrifying drafting a quarterback. It's terrifying.

So if you have someone, yeah, Danny Dimes, they'll move on, I'm sure. But it's terrifying. And this draft particularly is going to be, it's just who knows? I can't wait to talk draft with you because it's going to be. And we're going to be drafting the quarterback for the first time in five years, you would imagine. I'd imagine, yeah. All this stuff just makes me think that it's impossible and it really... So much luck has to factor in or you just have genius level scouts and genius level organization who just knew.

I'm sure there's people saying, we knew Josh Allen would be great. And there's people saying, we knew Josh Allen would be great. And there's people saying, we knew that Patrick Mahomes was our guy. Sure. But they said similar things to- The last thing I'll say to this is I had to actually talk to Pete Carroll this week.

We caught up and I'm not going to say who we were talking about, but we were just talking about quarterbacks. And this is just my point of view. You mentioned guys like Josh Allen, and you mentioned guys like Mahomes. There are some quarterbacks who just have a rare trait that you feel like, okay, we've seen enough,

like we can mold this. Mahomes had it. Mahomes' arm talent out of Texas Tech was through the roof. Now, and Andy Reid guaranteed was like, I can make this guy great because I know, I see that. Josh Allen was 6'5", 240, threw the ball, 90 yards, could run, played at a small town, but like there was enough there, right? Lamar is a freak. Lamar's rare. So like there's rare players like that. And I wouldn't put Anthony Richardson in that situation, even though he has rare traits. He only played like nine games his whole career in college.

So like his small sample size is kind of working against him. But that's the thing. That's the thing. And that's when drafting a first round quarterback now, especially with the way the game has changed, do they have something that just sets them apart, right? That you feel like you can develop. And I think there's a lot of guys that they just don't now.

Like they're just guys, you know what I mean? And I think that's what we've seen with some of these first rounders the last couple years. So. Yeah, well. Still room for Anthony Richardson, hopefully. Yeah, me too. He gets another crack at it young kid

He's got he's got he's got time We're gonna move now into and i'm wondering if we're gonna finally overlap We have not talked in advance about this i'm worried because I think we might worry about the same one No, there's no way if you don't know i'm talking about i'm talking about I can't get enough sauce moment of the week Also, shout outs to wendy's just sending over the saucy nugs. I got problems. I love the saucy nugs. They're so good This is where man. I think this is her man. I think a player someone on or off the field that's doing something that we can't get enough of just like we can't get enough of Wendy saucy nugs Matt. Do you want me to go first? Do you want to go first? Uh, I mean, whatever. What do you want?

I'm gonna go first. I'm gonna throw throw it down first, because just in case you We're not going to have the same one. There's no way. Oh, mine's a group. Oh, then we're not going to have the same one. But how do you not say you can't kill enough sauce moment of the week is not Jameis Winston? How do you like NFL football and not say not only was the game

outstanding, but the postgame presser? Talk about media training. I just think that we need to enjoy this this Jamis Winston run for as long as it lasts. It might be a game or two. It might be the rest of the season. It might be come back player of the year next year. Who knows? Anything could happen with him. We need to get him on the pod.

He's like in my in my top five list of people I want to get on the pod quickly to talk to, he's probably like three or four. I really want to talk to Jamie. I just think we'd have a lot of good things to say. No, he's the best man. Like he's like, there was one quote where one of his teammates, it was like, he says the play like, what was a quote? Andrew, can we get the quote up here on our day?

Something about he says the play like you've never heard, like the world is ending or something. Like it was something, it was some, like he has to tell you a secret. He has to tell you a secret. Like he says the play, he has to tell you a secret. Like guys, this is what we're going to do. And you see it, you see it sometimes on the film

and the cameras, it is so. That's how I get my kids to like sit down and eat breakfast, guys. Here's what we're gonna do. By the way, there's nothing better. I made some avocado toast. There's nothing better than like being in a huddle and calling a play, right?

Like, cause all the eyes are on you. It's like the next, like, that's a cool feeling of a quarterback because it's like, this is your huddle. There is no one that commands a huddle in his own fashion than James Winston, dude. Well, that's mine. Yeah, he's not even a specific sauce.

He's all the sauces mixed together. So let's hear yours. All right, so I'm mixing a lot of sauces together. I'm going my tight ends on national tight ends day. Yeah. That's the saucy nugs of the week. Okay. Listen to this for a second. There were a combined 183 catches. And for guys that play fantasy football like myself,

I'm in like seven leagues. Okay. Combined 183 catches for over 2000 yards from tight ends this past weekend. 17 touchdowns. He had a couple guys, K. Dot and Pitts, each had two touchdowns. Kittle went off. Kelsey went off. These guys deemed their own holiday because they weren't getting enough lot. They do the camp in the off season, national tight ends day this past weekend. Those boys went off. Shout out to the tight ends. It's a collection. It's not just one. They don't get a lot of love. All the receivers get love. Quarterbacks get love. Running backs get some love. The tight ends do the dirty work, but these guys went off. So that's my saucy nugs

of the day. You know, there was a, yeah, I definitely put a lot of- We've never seen it before. It was the biggest tight end day in the history of the NFL, or close to it. I put a lot of tight ends in some parlays. The one that stuck out, first of all, Kyle Pitts. Kirk Cousins, we got to enjoy, because he's somehow now,

you could start Kyle Pitts every week now in fantasy. Well, trust me. Start him every week. I have him in a league that I'm like- And that's scary normally, but now you might be in the safe zone. And also shout outs to the boys in Tampa, even though they lost a tough one in the same game. I mean, Kate Ott and stepping up in Evans and Godwin's accents. You knew that was. Yeah. Yeah.

Baker still doing his thing. So I don't think we're going to see the same kind of tight end performance again, but we're going to take a break. And then we got a lot of fun stuff when we come back for it. And the wives will be joining us shortly. I heard someone just pull up the garage, so it's on.

I'm going to the game over in Dallas pit at SMU both of these teams undefeated in ACC play pit is getting seven and a half points. I am taking pit plus the points

We don't know yet if they're starting quarterback Eli Holstein is playing the backup has a lot of Obviously experienced from last week. This to me is a game strength on strength You got SMU with the number one rushing offense in the ACC going up against Pitt and the number two rushing defense. I like that matchup for Pitt. I even like Pitt potentially to win this game. So give me Pitt plus seven and a half. That is my crown them game of the week.

What do we got buddy? So we all we all love lists. I

think I think everyone, every sports fan loves to make a list. I think start bench cut is a fun one because you're not really cutting any of these players. This is inspired by my 16 year old nephew because I did not expect to have a one hour conversation on Sunday while watching football as to why Patrick Mahomes is kind of just not great this year and they're winning despite Patrick Mahomes. Didn't expect to have that argument. So shout outs to my 16 year old nephew. We have some fun categories that are football related

and then we have some Halloween centric ones. I figure we rip through these. No right or wrong answers. Okay. So first one, we're sticking in football. The elites. We know who the elite three quarterbacks are. Mahomes, Lamar, Josh Allen.

Who are you starting? Who are you Josh Allen. Who are you starting? Who are you benching? Who are you cutting? All right, is this, I'm going to be a typical 16 year old. I'm going to be like, okay, is this regular season or is this playoffs? This is, is this right now? Is this right now?

This is right now. This is in the moment. All right, right now, right now I'm starting, I'm starting Lamar Jackson. I'm benching Josh Allen and I'm cutting Patty Mahomes. And Matt turns into a 16 year old high school kid. But that's right now. That's what I'm benching Josh Allen and I'm cutting Patty Moe's and Matt turns into a 16-year-old high school, but that's right now. That's what I'm saying Obviously that's I'm flipping the script on all three of those if it's a playoff game, but I hear that

Okay, I got Josh Allen one because I'm starting Josh Allen. He's the MVP of the league so far I'm sorry Lamar might be the MVP of the league, but we can keep going I'm sorry. This is the best Josh Allen has played in his career. He's balling. Yeah, I think he threw his first interception last week and we're on week eight. So are we both benching Patty? No, I am I mean cutting Patty. You're cutting Patty. I'm benching Mahomes only because Allen's been so good, but still I get it He's throwing a lot of interceptions. my whole argument with my 16 year old nephew was Not a whole lot of weapons over there. The guy just got D hopped. They're undefeated. I know the defense is elite

I just feel like patch him homes is like playing with your cutting the NFL MVP front-runner again Lamar. I love Lamar Jackson love them He clearly don't talk to some Ravens fans about how those leads are evaporating. And I'm not saying that's on him, it's on the defense too. But he's lost. The Ravens have lost too many goofy games already. All right, you said they've lost two games.

I mean, what are they six and two? No, I think they lost three games. But either way, you should not, the Browns, that shouldn't have happened. I know it was a motivated team. For that, this week, I'm calling it a day. We're going to move on. We're going to move on to, we're going to do, let's're going to move on. We're going to move on to the, we're going to do,

let's just go in order here. We're going to go the treats. OK? We're going to go a little Halloween edition. We're going to go candy. I have a strong opinion on Halloween candy. Right. Me too.

OK, start, bench, cut, sour patch kids, chocolate, which could mean anything, or Starburst. All right, for me, chocolate starts, but I do think that yeah, chocolate is a little too... I mean, are we going Snickers? Are we going Milky Way? Yeah, well, I think we'll get... You know what?

Let's just do a set... How about this? Let's take chocolates off. We'll do a whole separate chocolate thing. So let's do Sour Patch Kids, Starburst. I'll throw in... Did you like nerds as a kid? No nerds?

That's fine. My favorite Halloween candy is not even on there, but... All right. I'll throw in, did you like nerds as a kid? No nerds? One nerds guy? That's fine, my favorite Halloween candy is not even on there, but we don't. All right, so do your number one, your favorite, and then do the Sour Patch and Starburst after that. Okay, all right, so I'm starting candy corn. Oh, God, what? I know, I know, I know.

It's my favorite. You are one of those? This is, I am one of, now listen, people aren't really handing out candy corn for Halloween, but it is my favorite Halloween candy and the pumpkins. Yeah, it's fire. So I would start that. Now, Sour Patch Kids to me is like my all time,

also favorite. So like, I'm gonna start candy corn. I'm gonna bench Sour Patch Kids. I'm going to bench Sour Patch Kids and I'm going to cut Starburst. I like Starburst, but in that trio, big chocolate. I love Tootsie Rolls, little Tootsie Rolls. Well, we'll get into the chocolate category. What do you got?

I don't even know if I could do this podcast anymore. I know. I tweeted that out like last year and people just ripped me. I'm like, dude, I love candy corn. You're going to get ripped again. I'm starting Starburst. I'm like, dude, I love candy corn. You're going to get ripped again. My wife hates it. I'm starting Starburst. You give me a yellow or a red Starburst.

I'm in. Pink, pink. Orange is terrible, but yeah. I'm benching Sour Patch Kids. It's a mood thing for me. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Not only am I cutting your candy corn, I might just cut this out of the episode in general. This is another I'm gonna is where it is candy corn rank on

everybody's Halloween candy It's actually more split than you would think I think no way. Yeah, this is our poll then there We got our poll. Let's do the poll because I think that whatever the lowest thing on the list is That's what candy corn could be. Let's go back to football. Let's do the bounce backs. People who maybe could have gotten like a comeback award or just guys who are on new teams that have really thrived. Sam Darnold, who still has no nickname and is not going to get one.

Baker Mayfield without his two best receivers still putting up numbers. And a guy I think should get some league MVP consideration. Shouldn't win Jared Goff. I mean, he's not bouncing. And a guy I think should get some league MVP consideration, shouldn't win, Jared Goff. I mean, he's not bouncing. Jared Goff almost led him to the Super Bowl last year. So I'm going to go, I mean, I'm starting Jared Goff. And I love all these guys.

I love my boy, Baik, but I'm starting Jared Goff. This dude, when it's all said and done, went to a Super Bowl with the Rams, right, lost, was close, and now it's sort of revived this whole Detroit Lions organization with him and his head coach, was close a year ago, arguably the best team in football right now. I'm starting, I'm starting my boy Jared Goff,

Cal Bears finest. I'm gonna bench Baker, again, I'm gonna bench Baker, we saw it. I'm going to bench Baker. Again, I'm going to bench Baker. We saw it last year. I believe in him. I'm going to cut Sam. Now, Sam's balling, and it's a great story. And I think he's going to continue to have a good year.

They're good. You kind of got to see it week in and week out for a whole season. And so we'll see if they can sustain that. But yeah, Jared Goff's getting the stuff. I have the same exact list So I'm not gonna regard like you hit it on the head. I want to get to a much more important category Let's talk about the chocolates. You mentioned it. You're right chocolate. Can't just be a candy

Really? Oh Yeah, I'll do this for Halloween Did you just say the three or did well here's the three because one of these things is gonna come up. What do you got? I got Kit Kat, Snickers or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups which everyone who says Reese's you're long it's such a Midwestern thing you're wrong it's not Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. It's Reese's. That's why there's an apostrophe there. What's that? What do you got? If you have trouble, I can go. Yeah, you go. The Kit Kat is number one for me, but it's very specific.

I'm starting Kit Kat. It's so strange. But you gotta put it in the fridge. It's gotta be cold. You gotta have a cold Kit Kat. That to me elevates it to starter level. Then I'm gonna bench Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Still love it though. Could easily have been a starter.

A little bit of a quarterback controversy almost. And then yeah, I'm cutting Snickers. Great campaigns over the years. Not like a hater, but just doesn't crack the top for me. Snickers is borderline greatest candy of all time. Greatest candy of all time. I'm gonna start Snickers. I'm not a huge chocolate guy, I'm gonna say that again.

I'm gonna start Snickers. I am going to bench Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Josie loves it. I know everybody loves it. It's just, I'm not a fan. I don't mind it, but it's okay. Kit Kat, I don't get the allure. I don't get the allure of Kit Kats.

Don't care, don't need it in my life, don't need it frozen or cold. I could do away with Kit Kat. Probably how you view candy corn. I don't even hate Kit Kat. I just, it's like a mounds bar and some of these chocolates that I'm like, even like three musketeers,

like just doesn't do anything for me. Doesn't move the needle. Three musketeers used like just doesn't do anything for me. Doesn't move the needle. Three musketeers used to be my favorite as a kid. Are you trying to- I'm a big Milky Way and Snickers. You have weird candy and chocolate choices. Are you trying to put Kit Kat on the same level as a candy corn?

I think that's illegal in like 48 states. By the way, candy corn is the greatest Halloween candy of all time. You know what else my other favorite candy is? You know those old like circus peanuts? Man. Dude, and also for Easter, again, I, by the way. You love peeps, right?

Look at that. No, no, no, no, not a peep. Oh, you like the egg? No, the camera eggs are good. No, the little marshmallow, like the things that look like circus peas, but now they're rabbits. It's a peep.

That's a peep. No, no, no, the peep is like what's gooey. That's no, no, no. Peep is like a marshmallow. No, peep is a marshmallow. Yeah, no, these aren't marshmallows. These are like circus peanuts. Dude, I'm not gonna pull up a bit.

You got me. You beat me. By the way, yeah. This is controversial. Go ahead. I don't like it. No, no, no. We're moving on. We have one left. No, keep moving on. I'm gonna pull up a picture though. For everybody that's listening, they understand this.

Jerry just hasn't been like those So those are the better those are circus peanuts so there's a movement of those that come out for Easter are my favorite They're seasonal. All right, let's move on. Well, we're gonna do one more and do one more Yeah, we got we got throwback three still your Your young guns start, bench, or cut. We got Jayden Daniels. I think this is the hardest one. Jayden Daniels, CJ Stroud, Caleb Williams. Your young guns.

Who do you start, who do you bench, who do you cut? I think it's actually pretty easy. I'm starting CJ Stroud. Ballin' last year, ballin' this year. We've seen it now over a period of time. Weapons around him, team is good. I'm benchin' Jaden Daniels, who, I mean, you could literally put him in the MVP race as a rookie.

That's how great he's been. Totally revitalized the commanders. And I'm cuttin' Caleb. Caleb's had his up and downs. Caleb, look, Chicago, I mean, they should've won that game last week. They're playing good football. Cutting Caleb. Caleb's had his up and downs. Caleb, look, Chicago, I mean, they should have won that game last week. They're playing good football.

He's growing. There's going to be some time. But I think that one, I'm going with CJ Stroud. I mean, dude is just, I mean, rookie of the year last year. Could be in the MVP talks this year. They're playing good football. So we differ here a little bit. I'm starting Jaylen Daniels. I'm starting Jaylen Daniels.

It's Washington, Matt. We're talking about right now. This is the Washington commanders. Yeah, but new coaching staff. Love Dan Quinn. Helps a lot. I think Dan Quinn's a great coach. He's a great coach.

What did we really expect from the commanders this year? We hoped maybe Jaylen Daniels would be like, okay. Like show us the potential even. He's not showing us the potential. He's showing us a almost finished product. And the product is amazing and the whole team. The great thing too is like he's elevated. If you look at there, like Terry McLaurin is playing great. They don't have they don't have a bona fide superstar on the outside. They don't have a bona fide running back, but he's made everybody around them better. And again, Dan Quinn is outstanding. He's been the hell of a coach his whole career. He's got another another

chance here in Washington. And I'm telling you, like, they're not like, this isn't like a fraud. This is not a facility. This is a good, this is a pretty good team. And you have a guy like that who's a Lamar type who can just change the game every time he has the ball. Tony, man, they've been fun to watch. Well, obviously, I'm going Stroud bench.

Here's my thing with Stroud, who's awesome, by the way, this is not like a negative knock. It's not his fault that he's in, I'm sorry, he's in a pretty trash division. The division's over. I think Houston's goals are win, try and win easily, really do our best to stay healthy. Like they almost like without injuries, they cannot lose this division. It's impossible. It's impossible.

So I just don't think we've seen CJ Stratton. He's been great, a lot of yards, Digs is out, you know, Nico's out. So like it's just hard. I'm not there yet. I think by the end of the season, I will be there and start, I would start him. But just for right now,

I just think that it's his situation. And then I'm cutting Caleb, no offense to to him but I know the Bears are playing well but they were getting shut out going into the fourth quarter I think well their offense has been. It really was Deandre Swift who came alive and turned it all around so that's it that's why I figure we'll save the Halloween stuff now because we got Throwback 3 coming up. the Halloween stuff now because we got throwback three coming up.

Watch Triple Option on YouTube or listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. This is the moment we've been talking about now. We've been hyping these guests up. It's easily the best looking group of guests we've ever had. By far. Right, Matt? It's our beautiful lives. Bree, Josie. Josie, we had ever had. By far. Right, Matt? It's our beautiful lives.

Brie, Josie. Josie, we had you on as a lawyer, you know? We had lawyer Josie on, but now this is family, wife, mother, same with you Brie, first time. Brie and I used to do a podcast a hundred years ago. Which I have so- Oh, really? By the way, I have so many questions about that. I don't have time today.

I have so many questions about that. What was it called though? I want to know what it was. Do you remember what it was called, Bri? Bad for business. We started this like, oh, here's my cat. Oh, cat lady. Who Jerry loves.

We started this podcast like, I don't even know. When do we start it? 2012. 2012. Oh, OK. When people would still be like, what's a podcast? And we just didn't even have the energy to explain it to some people, but we just, we did it for a couple of years for fun.

You're ahead of your time. Yeah, I wish we were stuck with it, though. Who knows what would have happened. Josie, I caught our five year old at a birthday party last week bragging to a friend about the podcast. He was going to his little buddy going, yeah, it's called Throwbacks Hudson. It's a podcast. You should listen to it. I was like,

was he wearing his hat? Did you give him his hat? He does have a hat. They were rocking a hat. And speaking of hats and things we like to wear, it's Halloween as we know. And I just want to start with Halloween used to be so different without kids.

Do you guys even remember Halloween without kids? Because I do. We were in LA for it. Brie, I guess we'll start with you. What do you remember from Halloween? I'm sorry. I just look like a cat. Brie, what is going on?

You put me in an open room with cats. What were we talking about? Halloween before kids. Halloween before kids. Oh, like the, well, this is when we lived in California too, in Hollywood. So there was lots of parties, right? I feel like Halloween in LA is like sacred. LA loves Halloween.

Halloween. Cause you have like some of the best makeup artists and wardrobe. Like you could get any costume you want. LA goes hard for Halloween. I've never been a costume guy What what was your guys best? Costume couples costume in LA when you go ahead, you know it I was trying to think about that because Jerry you were such a Scrooge like you never wanted Like I would have to organize it completely and then beg you to put the costume on but the one year that you did want

To wear it was when we did Say By The Bell. We did Zach Morris and Kelly Kapowski. She made me the big cell phone out of the cardboard, blonde wig. That was my favorite too. Do you guys have a favorite like all-time couple's costume before kids? I have a favorite, but what is yours? I don't know. We've never talked about this. I think we're going to probably say the same thing. Wait, say it at the same time. Okay.

One, two, three. Care Bears. Jim and Carrie. Oh! Wait, wait, wait, what was yours? When you were the monkey and I dressed up as Jim Carrey with the tutu? I actually really love that one.

I think I love the Care Bears one because it was our first Halloween together. And we actually like made those costumes. And I remember being in the kitchen and having a glass of wine and like making our Care Bears costume. It's like, this is so fun. Could you imagine getting Jerry to be dressed up

as a Care Bear? I'm trying to think about it. I did. Jerry, we actually haven't dressed up as anything else. So I don't know what you're talking like. That's our only costume. That's our only costume. That's not true. Besides family stuff. If it's your only costume, at least it was a really good one. Can you think of anything else in the 12 Halloween's that we've done? Dude, do you wear Christmas pajamas on Christmas morning too? She demands that I wear Christmas pajamas.

What is wrong with you? That's part of, like, in our wedding vows, it was like to have and to hold through better and worse Christmas pajamas on every Christmas. We actually talked about how big of a screwed you were on our podcast years ago. We were running it back. And all the listeners created Bremas.

Do you remember Bremas? Oh Oh, Bremus for Christmas. They created a holiday for me where he has to do whatever. Well, I guess Josie and Brie, this is really why I wanted to have you on. Matt, feel free to jump in if you got something else. Halloween's great. But here's what Halloween really signifies for me now that we're all married and we have beautiful families. Halloween is basically closing the door officially on like summer, fall, all because from here on out

it's just a bullet train to Christmas. It's showtime. So what is a fair and normal time to really start saying hey Matt,, Jerry, why don't you maybe go get the decorations out of the what? What? What time frame are we looking at here? Josie, I'm going to go to you first because Bri, I think I know your answer, but I want yours too. Well, I have a hard and fast rule. So Matt's always gone on Thanksgiving. So I was going to say it's kind of nice. It's not nice that we're not together on Thanksgiving. But it's nice knowing that I'm always going to be home in Miami for Thanksgiving. So like that's kind of set. And when I come

back, it's usually like December 1. So at that point, it's just, it like you said, it's just, it's a go train, it's too too much is going on. So I always decorate for Christmas before I leave and I schedule it. Does Matt help decorate? Oh, let me, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, yeah, that's a great question. Cause let me, let me.

He's tall, he can reach a lot of stuff. Well, first of all, I will say this. That's silly, Greene. That was a silly question. Josie decorates a house full, it's amazing. It looks amazing. It's like a winter wonderland, Christmas decorations. My mom, she passed away. So my mom gave my Josie took a lot of my mom's decorations. So there's just a lot of like, it's just a beautiful house when it's done. So I will

say that it's amazing. But so this day and I Jerry, I texted you there's a closet behind Josie right now. There is an attic, that attic, that attic, that attic is about four feet tall, about 10 feet wide. And it's got like, you know, it's, it's part of our roof and I'm six, five. So I'm in there. It is, it is not fun in there. We've all been in, we've all been in there.

It is not fun. There's not that big of a deal for me, Matt. We need to send Jerry there. Just send me up there. I'll be out there. Jerry, you could probably stand up in there. It'd be great. I'm just kidding.

But, okay, Bre, to your point, she schedules a full day. It takes a full day. It's a full day. But then my point, and it's like, you need to take the kids out, go, and don't come back until this time, which is fine. But my thing always is, why does it take a full day? If honestly, this upsets me, don't even go down this road. It was actually wait, we need what we need to do. What we need to do is have this throwback

thing, like after everything is up, and then I'm going to show you everything and then you're going to tell me, okay, you can do that in four hours. By the way, the bar behind you, it looks exactly like our bar, just a different blue color. Anyway, okay, that was just, yeah, doesn't it, baby? For the audio listeners. Oh, for the audio listeners. No, my point is, and Brie, maybe this is the question to you too, is I would help, she does not want my help, because she's very meticulous, very like it

has to be this way, this way. I know where everything goes. And my thing is like, great. And I love that about her, but it does take, I'm just like, and then it's like, I have to do this all day, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, well, it shouldn't take you 10 hours. It would, I always say I can knock this out in an hour and a half and she goes, yeah, right. I don't, Matt, I don't believe that for, I don't believe for one. Oh, I do. I think it'd take you an hour and a half and then you'd be at you'd be begging Josie for help Josie has November 15th marked in the calendar if you had your way on this pod and I was just ready to negotiate and agree

What would you say is a time frame? You'd like to see the truth the decorations in the tree going up? Be fair be fair be logical the decorations in the tree going up. Be fair. Be fair. Be logical. Well, usually we host Thanksgiving, but we're not doing that this year, which I'm really happy about. So we don't need the tree for Thanksgiving. I like to just have the garland up for that and work on the tree afterwards. But this year, no, it's happening before Thanksgiving this year because then it just doesn't feel like it's up long enough.

If we, you know. Could we settle on November 15th and then just match the liners? Thanksgiving this year, because then it just doesn't feel like it's up long enough if we... Okay. Yeah. You know? Could we settle on November 15th and then just match the line-ups? We'll do a fan... Like it'll be a throwback... By the way, that's in like a month. Yeah. That's in less than a month.

That's in like three months. Oh my gosh, it's three weeks. Yeah. Why? I got a question for you two. I am a big Christmas music in the house fan. Big. Like Mariah. I will that that's Josie can attest this. I love Christmas music. I'm not a year round guy, but if I had my way, I probably would. When when do you start playing Christmas music?

For me, or do you play Christmas? What I know, we like I like, I don't hate, I know I'm like the grumpy Scrooge in the group. I don't hate on the Christmas music. For me though, I just need to get past Thanksgiving. It's hard for me to be decking the halls and jingling the bells when we haven't had the turkey. I need a little turkey and lions, cowboys, and also my birthday is usually on or about Thanksgiving. And then November 28th,

you walk into a Starbucks, I'm down to hear Mariah. I'm ready to go. I'm ready for the Christmas drinks. I'm ready for the music. I get a little antsy when it's before Thanksgiving. Brie? I mean, right now is defrosting right now. Like she's going to on like after Halloween What are the rules of watching sports on holidays? Bri yeah, Bri. This is another part of the conversation. I'm genuinely curious about this one because Thanksgiving's always football and then now Christmas the NFL is throwing a new wrinkle at you ladies Not that you care cuz Bri like you like football. They're not Josie I don't know if you care about it or not Not saying this is like like women don't like football on sport and on holidays

But usually Christmas was reserved for the NBA There's basketball games on kind of like background noise you don't have to sit and lock in the basketball the way you do football, but now the NFL wants in on the action and Christmas is not on the Sunday this year and there's some NFL football now on Christmas Day and we do have this Italy podcast to worry about. Bree's like, Jerry, you are not going down in the basement. We are hosting Christmas Day. We're hosting Christmas Day.

There's going to be 40 Reconos here on Christmas Day. But with that comes like the TV's being on and everyone like it's a social thing, you know, I don't mind it Yeah, I think one time I try to put remember we were hosting up. Oh That's why it was our I think it was our engagement party We had an engagement party and I put on a UFC fight. Remember that and you were like get that off I was like what? Yes, you so mad. Oh yeah. No, good background stuff. No, but it wasn't a background. Like it wasn't that kind of party. It wasn't like, oh, you're like hanging out and like hanging out with family, you know, like it was like, it was, it was a very different kind

of party. Yeah. But every guy that was there was like, Hey, did you get the fight? Did you get the fight? And I'm like, no, but I'll get it. Let's put it on. And she was like, everybody is going to be sitting in there watching the fight and not being outside. You turned that off to, you probably paid 90 bucks for that fight. No, we kept it on. I just, I don't remember that, but it's funny that you, I mean, now that you mentioned it, I do,

but that was so long ago. All right. I have one last thing for you ladies before we go. Cause Matt and I, we do this on the show today. I'm not going to make you name three. And I because Matt and I, we do this on the show today. I'm not going to make you name three, and I didn't prep you on this, but favorite Halloween slash horror movie,

scary movie, could be whatever, anyone that pops into your mind from your childhood or recent, is there any horror or scary movie that stands out that you might throw on tonight after the kids go to sleep because it's Halloween. Absolutely not. No, I'm not a zero. The answer is zero.

Oh, we tried screaming one time. We did scream. I've never even seen scream. I won't. I've been trying to get Josie to cuddle, cuddle with me for 12 years watching scary movies and every literally for 12 years, not one time of we watched a scary movie together. She refused. Like when you say what's your favorite Halloween movie, I think of two. Focus, focus and Hotel Transylvania. That's a good movie. Yeah. It's animated. It's not for,

it's not scary, but I will not do scary movies. Wait, babe, what's that one that we saw with Sandra Bullock, the Blackbird or black something? Black box, I think. Black box. Or black box. Something like that. It's not even a scary movie. And I will not go to the bathroom by myself at night for a long time.

Because I could hear somebody calling my name. I'm like, they're there. I cannot do it. That's a bird box bird box. And that's the extent of my scary movie. I just want to do it. And Brie real quick. What's the Halloween candy with the peanut butter? It's like a cup of blank peanut butter cup. What do you call it? Did you ask them first before? I'm going to ask you first.

Listen to this, Joze. Go ahead. Reese's. Reese's. What's wrong with that? It's Reese's. Wait, Josie, you're from the Midwest. That is a Midwest thing.

How do you say Reese's Reese's, babe? It's Reese's. I say Reese's, but I do hear a lot of people say Reese's. Yeah, and like Reese's Pieces, that kind of goes... My argument is it's Reese's Pieces. Pieces is an actual word. They rhyme with Reese. Reese's Pieces isn't a real thing. Yeah, you're right. Reese's Pieces. That's true.

All right. Hold on. Wait, Brie. Brie, what do you think of candy corn? Ew, gross. Thank you. Ferraris are out on candy corn. It's my favorite Halloween candy. Gross.

Josie, you married a psycho. He likes candy corn. No, that's not the worst thing that he likes either. One of his favorite candies is circus peanuts. And that is gross. I told you,, didn't you know what they were? And I said, like the Easter, the Easter bunnies that come out, I'll have a whole bag, dude. Just the whole lamest lists of Halloween and candy. There's so many other things to choose from.

And you choose like the two things. I've never, your number one is Kit Kat. Who? I mean, like, our Kit Kat is a wonderful candy. In the fridge Josie. In the fridge. In the fridge. Specific fridge.

Kit Kat's are great and on ice cream they make a fantastic frozen yogurt topping. It's soft and creamy with the crunch. I can't thank you guys enough. I know you were very busy. So let's just... We're ending now with... We are confirmed with you November 15th We are full on

Decorating full on and all I'd like in return is I just get to watch football Thank you All right, it's time for our throwback three this week last week Matt got to choose he chose sports conspiracies this week I get to choose it's Halloween So it's pretty easy to decide we're gonna do our throwback three Horror slash scary movies now. Have you had some time to think about this? So I have so I'm I'm I'm not a big scary movie guy feel like I was when I was younger sure I have a couple that you're going to appreciate this and everybody that's

listening that's about our age is going to appreciate this because there were a few that just haunted me forever when I was little but I used to always watch them. I'm going to go with number three. This one isn't as old. This one I'm going to go with The Ring. The Ring. 2002. I watched it once and it was, you know, the girl with the black hair, the white sheet over there. And the whole movie is just freaks me out. But like any time a character gets on all fours and starts walking around like a spider, you know, like that look. Yeah. I'm not down with that.

That shit, honestly, right now, literally, it's making my hair crawl up. You texted when you were looking at some things, like I'm just getting nervous looking at these. I was looking it up. I'm like, that one, I'm like, oh my God, that one just like, I refuse to ever watch that again. So that's my number three.

Okay, my number three is a movie that absolutely terrified me when I was a kid. There was a remake of it in 2006. I'm not encouraging anyone to watch that one, they could, but the original you should watch, and I'll tell you why. It is a movie called When a Stranger Calls. I don't know if you've ever seen the original, Matt. Yes.

What makes, and now if you're a little on the younger side and you've never seen it, I'm not going to spoil it too much, but what made it terrifying, again is made in 1979 by the way the remake was great too the remake was solid but the original was terrifying it involves a lot of like calls and breathing and eventually you find out one of the most famous lines the call is coming from inside the house which you didn't even know you could do that back then. How did he do it?

That movie terrified me. So. The remake is. Remake's solid. It's good. God, how did I forget that one? That's a good one. That one is a great one.

That one's a great one. That one's definitely. Okay. Number two. So I'm throwing two here because I want to get your opinion on this because you're going to, you're going to appreciate this. Children of the corn. Oh, I remember that. Back in 1984.

Okay. I was born in 83, but like that was like my, my first introduction to that. I was probably like 10, 11 or 12 at like a friend's house and like just creepy and then pet cemetery. Yeah, yeah. So Children of the Corn, I watched in my buddy Frankie's basement when I was about the same age, I think I watched underneath the coffee table. One of those projection TV things. I think I watched I was covering my eyes throughout most of it at Pet Cemetery. You saw that cat. There's a cat in this house.

I didn't I didn't take you as a cat guy either. I'm not. My wife came with two cats. It was either leave her or marry her with two cats. Remember Pet Sematary? Do you like that? Like, yeah, I know. All right.

My number two, and this is where it gets here, but it's an easy one. Psycho. The original Psycho. And here's why this movie haunted me. I was like nine years old. I begged my mom to let me rent it at the video store. And I think this was early on in parenting where,

you know how we do natural consequences? The kid doesn't want to wear a jacket. All right, go outside and then if you're cold, you'll come get the jacket. Natural consequences. I think she did that for me. Said, okay, you want to watch Psycho at nine years old? Fine. Watch the whole thing.

Terrified me. One day, I come home from school and my mom wasn't home. She ran out. I was alone or I thought I was alone. I go to the bathroom to pee and we had like a shower curtain, like a pink curtain, I can still remember. And I heard scratching on the curtain. We didn't have a cat and I'm peeing and I'm thinking, what is that?

My brother dressed up as like in women's clothes with a butcher knife on the curtain. We didn't have a cat. And I'm peeing and I'm thinking, what is that? My brother dressed up as like in women's clothes with a butcher knife and ripped open the curtain. I think I pissed all over. We talked about piss lots of times. I think I pissed all over. To this day, if I walked in your house, Matt, and I went to the bathroom, you had a shower curtain,

I would move it to see if there was anyone in there. To the death. Just scarred you forever. For life. So good. That's one of the most iconic movie you forever for life. So good. That's a fan. That's one of the most iconic movie scenes of all time. Yeah.

Yeah. What's your number one? Now we're here. Halloween's about to start. It's all it's all it's it's in the same realm of when a stranger calls that. That's a great one, man. That one is that's probably my top three. The strangers.

Oh yeah. Liv Tyler. I don't like that dude. That one. I've watched it a few, anytime it comes on, it's honestly, it's probably playing now, like I'll watch it. And it's about the family that kind of taunts Liv Tyler and they're in that cabin up there and they're wearing those masks and they're just kind of playing around.

If you haven't seen it, watch it. It is, for whatever reason, it's the one in the last, that was what, 2008, it's like the last 15 years or so that just, I can't get out of my, and it's not like, like the ring is like all of that kind of stuff, like the exorcist, that stuff is just creepy and scary and like, I don't like it, but The Strangers, like, it's like a movie.

Like, you know, like it feels real. Yeah, like, yeah, I think actually it might be based on real true story of some very possible but the strangers to me is my number one all-time just It just gets me every time but by the way, I actually like it like I'll turn it on again So if it's on if you're flipping that do we flip through channels anymore? But like if you caught it like a quarter of a throw it just sit down for the rest It just depends on like am I in bed with the wife and we're like snuggling?

Like, hey, let's watch this before we go to bed because she won't. If it's like two o'clock in the afternoon, like, no, I'm not watching it. Well, and like we did, and like there's some legacy ones. We didn't say Halloween. We didn't say Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th. Those are iconic.

That could easily be one, two, and three. This is the personal list. I like that your honorable mention was that, my honorable mention, I had Blair Witch Project, which when that came out, that movie was the shit. But my number one, and this is gonna get some hate, people are gonna criticize, like, that's your number one? Scream.

Scream was, to me, when I saw it. The original Scream. The original, part me, when I saw it. The original Scream. The original, part one, part one, now it's a franchise, because I thought the mix of like, part rom-com, part really scary, that opening of Scream is terrifying.

It was, honestly, that was a phenomenon. I mean, how many Scream movies did they make? The Scream mask became like the best Halloween costume of all time. And they borrowed from the the when a stranger calls like Calling while being in that they I think Wes Craven openly said that he borrowed like, you know That was inspired by when a stranger call scream for me that voice great cast do What's your favorite scary movie like that was going on all the time

They even made mock movies about like the Wayne's brothers made scary movie and that was a big part of it. So that's our top three. The original, the original scream for sure. I like that. So I had, I also had like Chucky on there. Like I'm thinking of the ones when we were younger, like, like Nightmare on Elm Street was scary. Yes. Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th was just always creepy. Saw, the Saw movies are just nasty.

It, the clown, the newer ones. You know what? To this day, I won't watch it. Oh, I've seen it. Clowns is like a... Yeah, clowns is weird. Alright, well... You got a bad history with clowns. Hit us up on Twitter or Instagram at throwbackshow.

Tell us yours, because I know we missed a bunch. And also to everyone out there. Happy Halloween be safe out there And I'm about to go put on a Zerg costume so more coming up later everybody
